Destined sacrifices are often the most tragic. Every soldier on these battleships knew it was the final moments of their lives. From the ship captain to the cook, everyone knew.
Yet, they went about their duties as usual. The captain calmly observed the enemy's cruiser, issuing commands to various departments. The cook in the kitchen continued preparing dinner, cursing rudely for the lack of seasoning, as if it was just another day. Since the day they arrived in the Newton Star System through the space jump point, these lonely soldiers in space had long stopped regarding their own lives as significant.
The mixed formation of the Federation Fighter Group and cruiser was even more relentless than the fleeing enemy. Kill! The fighter squadron crazily sprayed firepower at the Imperial Fighters dodging erratically, destroying one Imperial Fighter after another under the strong attack of the formation.
